Dumptruck Overturns in Crash

According to authorities, the accident happened at approximately 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Wiles and Godfrey Road in Coral Springs. The dump truck was overturned on its side and debris consisting of roofing and construction materials spilled onto the roadway and the median.

Three people who were injured in the crash were transported to an area hospital. One was listed with moderate injuries while the other two injured in the accident were listed with minor injuries. The names of the injured were not released.

The accident is still currently under investigation.

Many factors can play into the cause of an accident like this one such as reckless driving, improper driver training, mechanical failures, unsecured loads, or a driver that is over-fatigued or overworked.

Dump trucks are considered to be heavy-duty vehicles. Because of the nature of debris and building materials that are carried in such vehicles, accidents involving them can be very serious or even deadly.

Often, the driver of a dump truck is required to get a special license if the truck is very large. Such licenses involve being able to handle various aspects of these vehicles and requires rigorous testing before the license is granted. Even with such a license, there is no guarantee that there is any less a chance of an accident.
